Photo Hunt - Yellow

Today's Photo Hunt theme is "yellow." We don't have too many things yellow in our house, but next month on October 2, the entire world and the CB will be celebrating LiveStrong in honor of those who've fought cancer and won and in memory of those who've lost the battle. As of this week, Mom Paula is now a cancer survivor, having been diagnosed with a Squamous Cell Carcinoma (skin cancer) on her abdomen. The doctor believes they caught the cancer early and that all of the cancer cells were removed, but Mom Paula will need to be re-checked on a regular basis for future occurances.

Tomorrow, September 25, 2011 would have been Sweet Praline's 16th birthday. Mom Paula is going to have a memory post for her where you can revisit the Slumber Party Praline had for her 13th birthday. We'll provide a link on my post tomorrow, but we're going to re-post the Slumber Party on Sweet Praline's blog. Here's a graphic of Sweet Praline's "yellow" post with Mom Paula from the past. Sweet Praline had a Mast Cell Tumor in her spleen.

I also want to remember my sweet little brother, Beignet. We were together for a little over 11 weeks when he went to the Bridge because of a Vaccination Associated Sarcoma (VAS). I'll share more about this cancer on October 2.

I think the color "yellow" makes me both happy and sad because we celebrate those who've survived this dreaded disease, but we remember those we've lost.

The South Carolina Gamecocks (chickens) are at it again on the football field. They are playing the Vanderbilt Commodores tonight at 7:00 am EST. The game will be televised on ESPN2. Mom Paula brought me home this special bag from her favorite Gamecock clothing store and I thought the name was purrfect for me!

Great Livestrong pictures. We especially like the one of Praline. Looking forward to the post about her slumber party. Truffle, you make such a great mascot for those chickens. Well done.Good job. Take care.

We don't have a lot of yellow at home, either - but it is quite appropriate for livestrong with all the yellow badges. It seems that it has affected your human and feline family greatly. We are sending lots of healthy thoughts and vibes for Mom Paula!

This is a great post for yellow. Our mum can call herself a cancer survivor too and says that just 6 months ago she would never have thought it would describe her. We are glad your mum is recovering well.
